An apparatus for forming patties from a food product includes a base comprising a cylindrical sidewall defining chamber configured to receive the food product. A paddle includes a paddle blade configured to be installed onto the base to form a bottom wall of the chamber, the paddle further comprising a handle positioned outside the base that can be grasped to remove the paddle from the base. A cover is pivotally attached to the base and can be maneuvered from an open condition providing access to the chamber to a closed condition closing the chamber. The cover when in the closed condition is configured to compress the food product in the chamber and cause the food product to conform to the shape of the chamber to form a patty. The paddle is configured to remove the patty formed in the chamber.

A flexible mold device for preserving sandwich shape and height while cooking and grilling. The grilled sandwich shape protector is a mold for a sandwich to prevent the flattening of the sandwich stack while the outer surfaces of the sandwich are grilled. The device consists of a mold with an inner lip to secure the food and an optional handle at the exterior edge. Grilling can occur via stove top skillet, stove top griddle, dual panel grill device, or an outdoor grill. With the grill mold, the sandwich contents will not fall out of the sandwich while the sandwich heats or when the sandwich is flipped to expose the opposite side of the sandwich to the heated grilling surface. The grill mold is made of food grade, durable material so that the sandwich or its content are not contaminated and remain safe for human consumption.
